Who doesn't love a really good hug? One morning Douglas the bear wakes up and decides he needs one. His first attempt is with a giant rock, then a very tall tree and a pile of trembling leaves. He finds that they don't hug him back.
He then attempts to hug sheep who kick and squirm and don't like it
This is a really fun book for parents and kids. It's also very interactive!

Gives you an excuse to keep hugging your child as you demonstrate what Douglas does. My 2 year old finds the name Douglas amusing too (children can be so odd!) so even the first page is funny to her...

Poor Douglas, who just needs a hug and can't find one! This was cute, but I think my favorite part was the list of all the different types of hugs on the very last page. :)
